Well, heck, something like this will work then:

Catch, theError
IF theError NE 0 THEN BEGIN
Print, !Error_State.Msg
RETURN
ENDIF

Now, throw the error with Message:

Message, 'Whoops! Did you read the docs?'

You get something like this:

%YourProgram: Whoops! Did you read the docs?

That's about as simple as it gets. :-)

Cheers,

David
